Hey, just wanted to say the first site I got was https://www.the-odin.com, and I thought it was particularly random and cool. "Genetically Engineer Any Brewing or Baking Yeast to Fluoresce" was not at the top of my list for cool presents, but I thought it was super cool!
There is a decent amount of content on Netflix covering the man behind the website. He injected himself with some protein that was supposed to make him more muscular in public as a publicity stunt. Pretty controversial but also pretty interesting.
Oh also for the sites marked down as bad, create a public /shame list that’s available as plain text/json and we can use it to add to block lists on our own projects.
I had thought about adding a "top ten likes" list, but decided against it because people might try to like their own website to get it highly ranked, and it would be very easy to programmatically like a website an arbitrary number of times. I think showing a list of bad websites has a similar problem, e.g. there is a communist website in there and some kind of polyamorous Christian-swingers forum, if someone had ideological problems with a website like this they could try to flag it.
Rather than sharing feedback, which might create bad incentives, I'll just add it to my review page, where I review and approve submissions. I'll look and see if anything is getting reported and then choose to remove or leave it.
